AUDIO Doc Question

Hi there! I am making a doc of someone, which includes following them around on a scripted feature film they are involved in. They are an actor, so I'm wondering the best way to capture audio for them.

  1. Ask the audio recordist on the scripted feature to record their lav all day - then at end of each day, I grab those audio files from the scripted feature DIT

  2. Ask the scripted feature director if I can put a second lav mic on the actor (but thatll probably disrupt the feature)

  3. Don't worry about the lav just rely on my shotgun mic on my camera

Or is there a better option I'm not thinking of? Put lavs around the set where the actor will be in hopes of those picking up better audio than my cam mic?
